January 1st is my favorite day of the year. It’s the day where I take all the “movie watching data” I’ve collected over the last 365 days and put it all into one file.

I’ll list my top ten movies of 2013 in this post as well. If you want to hear me discuss my favorites, tomorrow The Obsessive Viewer Podcast is back with a 2013 wrap-up episode where me, Mike and Tiny all discuss the best and worst movies we watched last year.
